Ah, well if you add an extra letter as well as change one...sure, I can see that. But then "crumbles" really doesn't work all that well...Well, it does lend itself to an interesting although implausible mental image.
That's funny, because your name is the two letters that would be going into what I thought it said. There's nothing to get about the second half of the title, which seems to be why some prefer the scatalogical interpretation. I just thought it was a very strange thing for a news article to be about.
B. I hope to never be with you in Florida during a hurricane evacuation. Especially if we're on an evacuation route.

Other than milk and ice cream, what else comes in gallons?

Well, when you throw a breadcrumb a duck will swim for it, which was actually the punchline I had in mind. Yours works too, but isn't nearly as disgusting.

Olivet: Her "I don't get it" routine was our dad's response whenever one of us told a dirty joke, trying to embarrass us by forcing an explanation.
ElJay: You quit too soon! This could have been milked for much longer. Not unlike the elephant in question.

See, I woulda kept going if it was just us playing, but I would've felt bad if Olivet felt the need to spell it out. Posts: 7954 | Registered: Mar 2004

See, I was terribly, terribly sheltered as a child. I didn't even learn most slang or curse words until I was in college or after. I still ask my husband about stuff, sometimes.
I just... remember being the only one who didn't get these sorts of jokes. And even occassionally saying things that were unintentionally risque. It was terribly embarrassing, so I sympathize with the... uninnitiated.

I thought it would be great to have a thread where we say how we misread thread titles, because I have had some doozies.

And no problem, Olivet. I still say unintentionally risque things all the time. Posts: 7954 | Registered: Mar 2004

Until college, I had only ever heard the word 'flaccid' in completely innocent contexts, like to describe vegetable matter on the wrong end of osmosis and the like.
The lunch table howled one day when I expressed my dissatisfaction with the quality of the cafeteria lettuce. Someone who could tell I had NO CLUE what everyone was laughing at was kind enough to quietly inform me, "Freud would have had a FEILD DAY with you, Olivia." THEN I got it.

I kind of hoped that would happen with this one, but instead we're just telling elephant jokes.
True confession: did not read all the way through before posting that.
Enigmatic: Make a new thread about first readings of thread titles. It will get derailed anyway, but still, it would be fun.
